Features

MU100

The Spirit MU100 is an easy product to set up and use, from the adjustments to the intuitive

interface. This section explains how to set up, adjust and operate your MU100 from Spirit Medical

Systems Group.

Leveling the MU100:

 Once the MU100 is assembled, and placed on a flat level floor, it may be necessary to

adjust the leveling glides on the bottom of the unit to ensure proper stability of the MU100.

Use a 1/2” wrench to loosen the top nut of the leveler. Adjust the levelers by hand as

necessary to remove any wobble in the unit. Then tighten the top nut against the bottom of

the stabilizer tube. Make sure the bottom nut remains cinched against the leveling foot.

Connecting to A.C. Power:

 The MU100 has a built-in universal power supply. You can plug the MU100 into any A.C.

power source from 90 to 260 volts, 47 to 63 Hz. The A.C. input is located in the front of the

unit. The input module has an input connector for the line cord, a power switch and a 5 amp

fuse. Turn the power switch to off when the MU100 is not in use.

Adjusting the seat vertical position:

 To raise the seat position, loosen the knob one or two turns and lift up from under the rear

of the seat. The Knob has a spring loaded pin that will automatically seat in the slots in the

seat post at each position. Once the seat is at the desired setting, tighten the knob to

ensure the seat post won’t accidentally slide downward during use. To lower the seat,

loosen the knob then hold under the rear of the seat and pull the knob out to disengage the

pin from the seat post. You can then lower the seat position to just below the desired

setting then release the knob and pull the seat up until the pin clicks into place and tighten

the knob. There is a numbered scale located on the seat post, under the seat, for

repeatable settings.

Adjusting the seat fore/aft position:

 Loosen the knob and slide the seat to the desired position. There is a numbered scale

located on the seat slide, under the rear of the seat, for repeatable settings.

Pedal adjustment:

 Loosen the knob on the adjustable crank and pull up to disengage the pin. Slide the pedal

up or down the crank arm to the desired setting then tighten the knob. There is a numbered

scale for repeatability and a program in the Set Up function of the console that can assist in

setting up the pedal position to accommodate various patient knee angles.

 With the addition of the short passive arm, a patient with insufficient strength may actually

utilize the involved limb in pedaling as it is passively ranged by the uninvolved limb within

his/her prescribed range-of-motion. The arm swings free so no force can be applied.

Auto-Braking Feature:

 The MU100 has built-in sensing technology and software that will automatically stop the

flywheel when it senses the user is attempting to stop pedaling. This Auto-braking software

can be disabled during program set up before beginning a session. The Auto-Brake is set

to off for the Symmetry and VO2 programs and can be turned on during program set up.

Mechanical Brake Lever Function:

 The brake’s flywheel is also equipped with a mechanical brake that can be activated to stop

the flywheel by pressing down on the lever.

MU100

MU100 Electronic Console:

Power on

When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all the

lights will turn on for a short time. The dot matrix display will then show a software version (i.e.

VER 1.0) and the message window will display an odometer reading. The odometer reading

displays how many hours the bike has been used and how many virtual miles the bike has been

ridden. The display will look like this: ODO 123 MI 123 HRS.

The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the start up

display, also known as Idle Mode. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different

program profiles and the message window will be scrolling the start up message. You may now

begin to use the MU100.

The console will automatically power down after 20 minutes of inactivity. Press any key to wake

the console up again. Always turn off the main power switch when the MU100 is not in use.

Console Operation:

1. Set Up

The Set Up key function will allow you to enter patient data, set seat and pedal adjustments for

various knee ranges of motion and customize the settings of the MU100. When the Set Up key is

pressed the first option in the menu appears. Use the up/down arrows to scroll through the menu

and press the enter key to select an option.

Set Up menu:

1. Patient Data:

 Age: used in Vo2 and heart rate programs.

 Gender: used in Vo2 program.

 Weight: used in METs and Calorie calculations and Vo2 program.

 Height: used in the seat position and pedal crank set up program.

2. Seat Position:

 User may input desired knee flexion angles (6 options) and the software will

calculate the seat’s vertical position and pedal position settings.

 This feature is intended to aid in patient set up but may not be the final settings as

patient’s body symmetry may vary slightly.

 This program uses the height from the Patient Data settings for limb length. The seat

Fore/Aft position is assumed to be in the center of the adjustment range. The six

knee angle options are:

1. R Min (Right leg minimum flexion) L Min (Left leg minimum flexion)

2. R Max (Right leg maximum flexion) L Max (Left leg maximum flexion)

3. R Max (Right leg maximum flexion) L Min (Left leg minimum flexion)

4. R Min (Right leg minimum flexion) L Max (Left leg maximum flexion)

5. R Max (Right leg maximum flexion) R Min (Right leg minimum flexion)

6. L Max (Left leg maximum flexion) L Min (Left leg minimum flexion)

3. Watts Per Row:

 Adjusts the scale of the dot matrix when power (watts) is displayed. The default

setting is 10 watts per row. The default of 10 watts per row means the full display (all

10 rows lit) equal 100 watts.

 The setting can be adjusted from 10 to 100 watts per row of lights on the graph.

4. Level Scale:

 Set the amount of change in the level adjustment of workload (resistance at the

pedals) each time the arrow keys are pressed.

 This feature allows you to have very fine increments of resistance for physically

challenged patients or set very high resistance levels for sports training. The default

setting is; Fine, 5 watts per level. The three options are:

1. Fine – 5 watts per level (at 60 rpm)

2. Medium – 10 watts per level (at 60 rpm)

3. Coarse – 15 watts per level (at 60 rpm)

2. Quick Start

This is the quickest way to start an exercise session. After the console powers up you just press

the Start key to begin; this will initiate the Quick Start mode. In Quick Start, the Time will count up

from zero, all workout data will start to accrue and the workload may be adjusted manually by

pressing the Up or Down key. The dot matrix will display a workload level at the lowest resistance.

As you increase the workload more rows will light indicating a harder workout. The bike will get

harder to pedal as the rows increase.

The dot matrix has 24 columns of lights and each column represents 1 minute in the Quick Start

program (time per column can be modified in other programs). At the end of the 24

column (or 24

minutes of work) the display will wrap around and restart at the first column again. There are 50

levels of resistance displayed in 10 rows of LED lights. The amount of workload for each level can

be modified in the Set Up menu.

3. Basic information

The Dot Matrix Display is used for displaying graphic feedback and has three basic displays for

most programs, except for Isokinetic and Symmetry programs which are described later. When

you begin a program the dot matrix will display a workload profile (constant resistance). To the left

of the dot matrix there is a key labeled Display. Pressing this key will switch the display to show a

Power graph (watt profile) and then a track. When both LEDs under the key are blinking the graph

will scan through the three displays.

The Message Window is the main display for programming instructions and relevant

measurements during a program. The measurement data shown varies depending on the program.

Measurements include: Time and Segment Time, RPM, Pulse, Work level, Watts and Average

Watts (Left and Right leg), METs, Calories and Symmetry.

Below the Dot matrix display is a Heart Icon and a Bar Graph. Simply grasping the hand pulse

sensors, or wearing a heart rate chest belt transmitter, will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may

take a few seconds). The Message Window will display your heart rate in beats per minute. The

Bar Graph represents the percentage of maximum heart rate. NOTE: Enter the correct age in Set

Up for the Bar Graph to be accurate. Refer to Heart Rate section for details about these features.

The Stop/Reset key provides several functions.

 Pressing the Stop/Reset key once during a program will Pause the program. To resume the

exercise session just press the Start key or start pedaling.

 If the Stop/Reset button is pressed twice during a workout the program will end and a

summary of information of the exercise session will be displayed.

 If the Stop/Reset key is held down for 3 seconds the console will perform a complete

Reset.

 During data entry for a program the Stop/Reset key performs a Previous Screen function.

This allows you to go back one step in the programming each time you press the

Stop/Reset key.

The Program Keys may be used to preview each program when in the idle mode. Press each

program key to preview what the program profile looks like. To begin a program press the

corresponding program key and then press the Enter key to select the program.

MU100

The program keys also function as a Number Key Pad when you are in the data-setup mode. The

number for each key is shown above the program name. If you are entering new data such as

Time, Age, weight etc., you can use these keys to enter the numbers quickly.

4. Selecting and customizing programs

When you enter a program you have the option of modifying the settings. If you want to begin

without entering new settings just press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data

and take you directly to the start of the program. If you want to change the settings just follow the

instructions in the message window. If you start a program without changing the settings the data

from the Set Up menu will be used.

Manual

The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the

workload yourself, not the computer. To start the Manual program follow the instructions below or

just press the Manual button then the Enter button and follow the directions in the message

window.

1. Press the Manual key then press the Enter key.

2. The message window will prompt you to enter the time for the program. You may enter the

display.

6. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the same program again or Stop to

exit the program, or you can save the program you just completed as the Facility program

by pressing the Facility key and following the instructions in the message window.

Preset Programs

The bike has three preset exercise programs that have been designed for a variety of workout

goals. The initial built-in level of difficulty for each program is set to a relatively easy level. You

may adjust the level of difficulty (Max level) for each program before beginning.

The profiles shown in the dot matrix are merely pictures of the whole profile and will not change in

size when the work level keys are pressed. When setting up a program you will enter the

maximum resistance setting for the peak of the profile. During the program the resistance levels

will change as the profile progresses. When the up key is pressed to request more resistance the

profile picture will not change, but the workload will increase. The message window will display the

level setting for the current segment and also the maximum level for the peak of the profile.

Pressing the work keys actually change the peak level of the program not the current segment

level. You may need to change the peak setting several times before the current segment

increases.

MU100

HILL

The Hill program simulates going up and down a hill. The resistance in the pedals will steadily

increase and then decrease during the program.

PLATEAU

The Plateau program provides a steady state exercise with warm up and cool down periods.

Interval

The Interval program takes you through high levels of intensity followed by periods of low intensity.

This program increases your endurance by depleting your oxygen level followed by periods of

recovery to replenish oxygen. Your cardio vascular system gets programmed to use oxygen more

efficiently this way.

Vo2 Test

The Vo2 program is based on the YMCA protocol and is a sub-maximal test that uses

pre-determined, fixed work levels that are determined based on the heart rate readings measured

as the test progresses. The test will take anywhere between 6 to 15 minutes to complete,

depending on the fitness level of the user. The test ends when the user’s heart rate reaches 85%

of maximum at any time during the test, or the heart rate is between 110 bpm and 85% at the end

of two consecutive stages. At the end of the test a VO

2max

score will be displayed.

The YMCA protocol employs two to four stages, lasting 3 minutes each, of continuous exercise

(see charts below). You will be prompted to choose either, Male or Female at the beginning of the

test. This choice determines which protocol will be used during the test as shown in the charts

below. The only caveat is if you are a very de-conditioned male you may need to choose option

Female. If you are a very conditioned female you may need to choose option Male.

Symmetry

The Symmetry program may aid in achieving a more balanced pedaling stroke for patients with

bi-lateral deficiencies, such as stroke patients and post-op knee patients. The program will

measure the left and right power around the pedal rotation. The Dot Matrix display will show a

graph indicating the leg power symmetry so the user has a visual feedback to aid in improving

the involved limb’s strength.

1. Press the Symmetry key then press the Enter key.

2. The message window will prompt you to enter the Time for the program. You may enter

the time using the Up and Down keys or the numeric key pad then press the Enter key to

Biofeedback Graph:

Below is a sample picture showing the symmetry graph. In the message window there is an

average watt measurement and it is indicating that the left leg is producing more power than the

right leg, 41 vs. 34 watts. The graph reflects the higher wattage of the left leg. If the power is equal

in both legs only two dots would be lit on the bottom center of the graphic screen.

＊NOTE: Chest strap transmitter does not come as a standard part, but is an optional purchase.

How to wear your wireless chest strap transmitter:

1. Attach the transmitter to the elastic strap using the locking parts.

2. Adjust the strap as tightly as possible as long as the strap is not too tight to remain comfortable.

3. Position the transmitter with the logo centered in the middle of your body facing away from your

chest (some people must position the transmitter slightly left of center). Attach the final end of

the elastic strap by inserting the round end and, using the locking parts, secure the transmitter

and strap around your chest.

4. Position the transmitter immediately below the pectoral muscles.

5. Sweat is the best conductor to measure very minute heart beat electrical signals. However,

plain water can also be used to pre-wet the electrodes (2 black square areas on the reverse

side of the belt and either side of transmitter). It’s also recommended that you wear the

transmitter strap a few minutes before your work out. Some users, because of body chemistry,

have a more difficult time in achieving a strong, steady signal at the beginning. After “warming

up”, this problem lessens. As noted, wearing clothing over the transmitter/strap doesn’t affect

performance.

6. Your workout must be within range - distance between transmitter/receiver – to achieve a

strong steady signal. The length of range may vary somewhat but generally stay close enough

to the console to maintain good, strong, reliable readings. Wearing the transmitter immediately

against bare skin assures you of proper operation. If you wish, you may wear the transmitter

over a shirt. To do so, moisten the areas of the shirt that the electrodes will rest upon.

Note: The transmitter is automatically activated when it detects activity from the user’s heart. Additionally, it

automatically deactivates when it does not receive any activity. Although the transmitter is water resistant, moisture

can have the effect of creating false signals, so you should take precautions to completely dry the transmitter after

use to prolong battery life (estimated transmitter battery life is 2500 hours). If your chest strap has a replaceable

battery the replacement battery is Panasonic CR2032.

Erratic Operation:

Caution! Do not use this bike for Heart Rate Control unless a steady, solid Actual Heart

Rate value is being displayed. High, wild, random numbers being displayed indicate a

problem.

Areas to look at for interference, which may cause erratic heart rate:

(1) Microwave ovens, TVs, small appliances, etc.

(2) Fluorescent lights.

(3) Some household security systems.

(4) Perimeter fence for a pet.

(5) Some people have problems with the transmitter picking up a signal from their skin. If you have

problems try wearing the transmitter upside down. Normally the transmitter will be oriented so

the Spirit logo is right side up.

(6) The antenna that picks up your heart rate is very sensitive. If there is an outside noise source,

turning the whole machine 90 degrees may de-tune the interference.

(7) If there is another person wearing a chest strap within 1 meter, it will interfere.

(8) If you continue to experience problems contact your dealer.
